Show notes

Researchers from Netscout's ASERT team have been making use of honeypots to gather information on rapidly evolving IoT botnets that take advantage of default usernames and passwords to gain access and take control of unprotected devices.
Matt Bing is a security research analyst with Netscout, and he guides us through their findings.
